Clara Mae

Clara Mae is a Swedish pop singer and songwriter, born Clara Hagman, who began her solo career under this stage name after time spent as part of the pop group Ace of Base. Her solo work moved toward a cleaner, more contemporary pop-electronic sound, built on airy synth textures, confessional lyrics, and a vocal style that favors intimacy over bombast — closer to the introspective strain of Scandinavian pop that emphasizes emotional directness over big hooks.

Beyond her own releases, Clara Mae has built a significant career as a songwriter for other artists, working with major names in dance and pop production including David Guetta, Tiësto, and Martin Jensen, lending her voice and pen to tracks that bridge radio-friendly pop with club-oriented electronic production. This dual role — recording artist and in-demand collaborator — situates her within the broader Swedish songwriting tradition that has long supplied hooks and top-lines to international pop and dance hits.

Her own catalog leans into themes of breakup, self-reflection, and moving on, heard in songs like «I'm Not Her» and «Sorry For Writing All the Songs About You», which pair a wry, personal songwriting voice with polished, radio-ready production. That combination of vulnerable lyricism and dancefloor-adjacent sound design marks her as a distinctive voice within contemporary Swedish pop.
